Shaking table tests on seismic response of rocking frame structure considering foundation uplift
The separation of structural foundation and foundation soil, namely the foundation uplift, is inevitable in strong earthquakes, so the concept of rocking isolation is gradually proposed.

Ground pulsation tests and analysis on seismic response of typical ground fissure sites in Xi’an
The extensive development of ground fissures in Xi’an severely restricts the construction and planning of the city. The existence of ground fissures makes the building sites show different seismic response characteristics under earthquakes. Therefore, it

Seismic attenuation in Faroe Islands basalts [PDF]
We analysed vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data from two boreholes at Glyvursnes and Vestmanna on the island of Streymoy, Faroe Islands, to determine the magnitude and causes of seismic attenuation in sequences of basalt flows.

Shaking Table Test of Seismic Response of Immersed Tunnels under the Influence of Multiple Factors
To explore the dynamic characteristics and influencing factors of immersed tunnels under the action of earthquakes, 5 groups of shaking table model tests were carried out. Three different site conditions (unsaturated sand site, homogeneous saturated sand

Linear site-response characteristics at central and eastern U.S. seismic stations
Earthquake S waves can become trapped, or resonate, between the free surface and high-impedance basal layers, strongly contributing to site response at specific frequencies.
